Still unsure? Call +44 20 7781 8094 any time.
What is helicopter charter in London?
You book a whole helicopter for your own group and it flies when you want, from the London Heliport in Battersea or an approved site, to airports, country houses, racecourses and cities across the UK and Europe.
How much does helicopter charter cost in London?
The price depends on the helicopter, the distance and the flying time. Short transfers within southern England typically start from a few thousand pounds, and longer or European flights cost more. Tell us where and when and we will send you a clear quote.
Where do helicopter charters leave from in London?
Most leave from the London Heliport at Bridges Court, Battersea SW11 3BE, the capital’s only central heliport, with quick access to the West End, the City and the main roads. See our directions and opening hours.
How much time does a helicopter save?
Luton Airport to the heliport takes about 23 minutes by helicopter and about 90 minutes by road. Farnborough is about 15 minutes, Ascot about 25 and Oxford about 30. Real times depend on the helicopter and the weather.

How quickly can I arrange a helicopter charter?
Often within a few hours, subject to availability, landing permissions and the weather. For busy dates and big events, ask 24 to 48 hours ahead or earlier.
Can a helicopter land at my home, hotel or venue?
Often, yes, with the landowner’s permission and a check that the site is suitable. We arrange the permissions. Read can a helicopter land at your venue.
Can I connect a helicopter charter to my private jet?
Yes. Many clients fly by helicopter straight to or from their jet at Luton, Stansted, Biggin Hill, Farnborough or RAF Northolt, so there is no road leg at all. See helicopter transfers.
Which events can I fly to by helicopter?
Royal Ascot, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone and Goodwood are favourites, along with weddings and race meetings. See helicopter charter for events.
Is helicopter charter safe?
Every aircraft we charter holds a full UK Civil Aviation Authority AOC and is fully insured. We fly modern twin-engine helicopters with experienced commercial pilots.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If the flight is cancelled because of the weather, you pay nothing. We watch conditions closely, and you can check them at any time on our Battersea Heliport weather page. Read more in helicopter charter and the weather.
How much luggage can I bring, and can pets fly?
Helicopters carry less luggage than jets: most take a small suitcase or soft bag for each passenger, so tell us how many bags you have and we will advise. Pets are welcome by prior arrangement.
How do I book a helicopter charter?
Use the quote form or call +44 20 7781 8094. A charter specialist replies quickly with options and a price, and we arrange the aircraft, the landing permissions and any car transfers. See how to book a private helicopter.
